Reading lists should have a thumbnail derived from its members
Open, LowPublic

Description

When querying http://localhost:8888/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=readinglists&formatversion=2 I get a list of all the reading lists I own.

It would be useful to have a thumbnail for each of these items - either derived from a pageimage associated with one of the entries.
When rendering a list of all lists, it is too expensive to query every list to obtain this.

Please when creating subtasks be careful about the projects you keep on the task... It is creating unnecessary work for different people... :(

Set as low for now as we are focused on other things this quarter.

This depends on how lists would be rendered on web, so it needs input from Design, cc @Nirzar

In apps for example, the icon for the list is a combined image with a few thumbnails of the articles inside it.

So maybe what makes sense for web is to have a list of max 4 thumbnail info for composing that kind of image.

This is also something we could have in the REST layer which hydrates the information with summaries and thumbnails as needed.
